Kristy Storschuk

Kristy Storschuk, a PhD candidate in muscle physiology at Queen's University, dives into the nuances of Zone 2 training and fasting. She challenges common myths, revealing that exercise intensity may drive better mitochondrial adaptations than heart rate zones. Kristy also discusses how elite athletes' benefits often stem from high-intensity work rather than just Zone 2 training. Additionally, she explores the differences in muscle responses to fasting between rodents and humans, advocating for individualized nutritional approaches and emphasizing the importance of recovery.
